🦷 What they DIDN'T tell you about BRUXISM 😬💤

Witchcraft isn’t just “grinding your teeth while sleeping”: it’s a silent wear and tear that affects your teeth, jaw, and even your overall well-being.

What happens when you grind your teeth:

Pressure up to 250 kg in the jaw, more than chewing a bone.

Enamel wear and tear, fractures, microfractures, and damage to implants or crowns.

Inflammation of the Temporomandibular Joint (ATM), causing:
• Chronic Headache
• Buzzing in the ears
• Pain when opening the mouth
• Vertigo or Dizziness

Causes: stress, anxiety, respiratory problems, even in children.

Warning signs:

Retracted gums

Dental hypersensitivity

Pain to chew

Facial asymmetry

What can you do:
✅ Use dental floss at night if directed by the dentist
✅ Stress relaxation techniques
✅ Avoid caffeine, alcohol and sugar at night
✅ Do jaw exercises
✅ Check if there are cracking, pain or stiffness when waking up

Witchcraft is a silent earthquake in your mouth: the more it is ignored, the more damage it causes.

🦷 Kids’ Fear of the Dentist

👶 The Importance of Early Dental Visits
Seeing a dentist by age one helps prevent cavities 🦠, builds trust 💙, and allows personalized guidance. It also creates a “dental home” 🏡 where your child feels safe and supported.

🏠 Preparing Your Child at Home
Talk about the visit in a simple, calm way 😌. Say things like “the dentist will count your teeth” or “give your teeth a sparkle-clean ✨.” Avoid complex details or scary words. Read books 📚 or play pretend check-ups 🧸. Pick a time when your child is well-rested. Don’t promise toys or rewards—praise works better 👍.

🚫 What to Avoid Saying
Never mention pain, drills, or needles 💉. Avoid sharing bad dental stories from your past. Don’t use threats like “if you don’t brush, the dentist will...”

🏥 What to Expect at the Dental Office
Most dentists use a “Tell–Show–Do” method: they explain 📢, demonstrate 🪥, then gently perform the procedure. Your child may sit in your lap or alone in the chair depending on their age. Follow the dentist’s lead 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️.

🧘 Techniques Dentists Use to Calm Children
Dentists use calm voices 🎵, simple instructions 🗣️, fun distractions 🎈, and encouragement ⭐. Some kids prefer parents close; others cooperate better solo. The dentist will assess what’s best.

😴 When Sedation May Be Used
For very anxious children, sedation like nitrous oxide (“laughing gas” 😄) can help. It’s safe and wears off quickly. Oral sedatives like Ativan or Va**um are used carefully and only when needed.

🪥 Good Habits to Reduce Future Fear
Brush with fluoride toothpaste twice daily 🪥, floss daily 🧵, avoid sugary snacks 🍬, and visit the dentist every 6 months 📆. Familiarity reduces fear over time.

🌟 Final Word
Fear is normal. But with calm preparation, support, and a caring dental team, your child can feel proud and relaxed, turning fear into confidence one visit at a time 💫.

Old fillings that have been in your mouth for many years should generally be examined for signs of leaks, fractures or decay under the restorations. Have it replaced the soonest with Zirconia..

Many stained fillings are quite old and are no longer properly bonded to the tooth material around them. These fillings need to be replaced to keep the tooth healthy.
